The gauges are Summit Racing brand. They are all electric, so I had to add a sensor at the tranny. I still have to adjust it for speed, seems it reads 40 when I'm doing 25. It's easy to do I just have to remember to have the instructions in the car and go to a speedometer check route.
Then there's the rest of the story. All of the gauges came with a matt gray bezel except the Speedometer. I scratched my head for a few days, talked to Summit and all that was available was what I had. So I got out the masking tape, scotch-brite and the spray gun and painted the bezels to match the exterior color of the car. 2012 Ford Blue Flame with a few drops of Pearl.
Wiring the panel was relatively easy.

The Performance Vehicle Works dash might be a little pricey but well worth it for a hand built piece. I absolutely love mine! when compared to the steel DSE Camaro dash, which is stamped, it is a great deal. However we Nova guys are always looking for a deal .

The great thing about the PVW dash is the options for your setup. I am running a 5" Speedo and Tach and 4 2 5/8" with an a/c outlet and stock heater/air controls

I hear ya on keeping it kinda Old Schoo. l had bought the dash cluster with all the round gauges off of E-bay for a little over $500.00 and then decided i just did'nt want to go that route. And i don't really care for the look of the digital clusters so i just did what i thought was a very cheap and different look and bought the white face gauge overlays for only $19.00 from whitefacegauges.com. I had a spare gauge cluster so if i did'nt like it i could easily change it back. With me being a graphic designer and having access to a thermal printer i am actually in the process now of making my own custom gauge overlays that i think will look really trick! But for now heres mine!
